Gao Jun looked at the other party coldly, and he couldn't show weakness to Gao Xianxing, let alone Li Shixian, "The ranch has its own pastoral protection team, and the British public doesn't have to think about it." But there is a mistake in the increase of Qiuzi's troops, and you can't escape the blame. ”

Li Shiyun raised his eyes in some surprise and glanced at Shang Shuling quickly.

The two had spoken to each other countless times, but this was the first time they had been as straightforward as today.

Gao Jun said that in the past, when he captured Kangli City, Lord Sun, the prince of Zhao State, was still a civilian official, but in order to support the war in Xizhou, it was not a big mistake to draw troops from several border towns.

The implication is that as a soldier of the military department, if you dare to delay this matter, wait and see.

Withdrawing from the capital hall of Shangshu Province, Li Shichang roared angrily in his heart: What the hell are you, you are so rebellious, not to mention your own Lao Tzu, the British princess who supports the dignified envoy is like a grandson!

Li Shiyun thought, forget about the private banquet at the Huangfengling Villa in the evening, don't make a fuss! Gao Xianxing can't even put a son on the table, what qualifications do you have to eat my food!

Of course, this is just angry talk, what really makes Li Shiyun hesitate is Gao Jun's tough attitude.

In any way, a person who is entangled in big things will not be so calm and aggressive.

Li Shichang thought that he had misjudged, and he couldn't guess how much of it was true that Gao Jun, the Duke of Harrier, posed in this posture.

He was unwilling, he obviously had an opportunity to appear in front of him, if he didn't try again, he would have deserved to let Gao Jun step on the mud in the future.

……

When I returned to Yongning Fang in the evening, the house was very quiet, the ladies and maids walked a lot, the guards also walked a lot, and the four young princes also traveled, only Fan Ying was waiting for Gao Jun.

The kitchen made a few good dishes and set up wine.

When Liu Yuru and these people set off, everyone hugged the third sister Fan Ying, and the meaning was self-evident: the family is counting on you.

In the past, when there was nothing to do, Fan Ying would talk to her sisters in the back house, and sometimes she would accompany this or that when she went out to watch a play, ride a horse, or go on an outing, or walk around the garden behind.

But today she was not idle, after the sisters left, Fan Ying went in and out of the mansion of the Harrier Kingdom, and even took a look at the kitchen and stable in the mansion, and found that there were many corners in the mansion that she had never been to.

She also went to the people's residences to take a look, which flattered the people, because in the past, only the second lady Xie Jinlian occasionally came over.

Everyone knows that this third lady is good, but she has a bad temper, if the old man of Xinglufang meets the third lady on the stone bridge of the colony, he probably won't dare to move - this woman has a lot of capital.

The people generally belong to the closest but unknown category of people, who have taken the side and asked about such a fanfare in the house.

Fan Ying said to them that Qianzhou and Xiazhou are two places where Gaofu is constantly pulling and pulling, and Shang Shuling has no time to go, so he has to do it for his sisters, and there is also the advice of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Then Gao Bai, Ju'er or Xuelian came and asked the third lady to decide on the daily expenses in the house, ushering in the send-off, and inviting guests and other trivial matters.

Fan Ying came into contact with accounts and life for the first time, and when she finished distributing them one by one, she found out that Xie Jinlian was really not easy in the past.

At this time, Gao Jun returned home, sat at the table and smiled at Fan Ying, "This is too unaccustomed, thinking about the monogamous life of ordinary people, there is really nothing to do except these two meals every day!" ”

Fan Ying said, that's right, at least there is no jealousy and intrigue, what else can there be?

Gao Jun said, "Come on, please come over for dinner." ”

After a while, Gao Bai, Ju'er, and Snow Lotus all arrived, and this thing is obviously not very common.

Shang Shuling said, "In the past, there were many people in the family, and it was rare to be quiet, but today the official will use a glass of wine to thank your family for your work for Yongning Fang's house." ”

Gao Bai said, "The villain used to be just the family member of the consul of Xinglufang, and after following Mrs. Cui to Xizhou, he made a big mistake, thanks to Mr. Gao and Mrs. Liu, regardless of the previous suspicions, and now the villain also has both children and daughters, and Gao Bai's family is willing to suffer a little." ”

Shang Shuling nodded and said, "There have been some things in the house recently, and I don't want to hide it from you." Gao Bai, your hometown is outside Chang'an City, send your two children back, and you can watch and take the money in the house, which will be enough for your family to eat for the rest of your life. ”

The three of them were shocked, and Ju'er said, "My lord, what are you talking about!" When Ju'er was in Xizhou, she even had the heart to die, in short, Ju'er's life was also given by the tall family, and I won't leave if there is anything in the house, otherwise would I still be a human being? ”

Xue Lian also said, "When the slave maid was in Yazhou, she was just a princess's maid, and she was caught between the two princesses, and no one took it as a person, and I didn't leave Yongning Fang!" ”

Gao Jun said, "It's not that I want you to leave, I'm just making some plans for the future, just do as I say." ”

Ju'er sobbed, "But master, what's the big deal?" All the while, we know that nothing can stump you! ”

Fan Ying persuaded, "Ju'er, I think so too, because the people under Senior Brother are obedient, how to arrange and how to do it, I believe he is right." ”

Gao Jun leaned over with Fan Ying and whispered a few words, and the third lady immediately got up and said to Gao Bai's family with a smile, "Look, I don't have to listen to orders!" "Said that the retreat seat went out.

The three housekeepers were even more convinced that there was something wrong with Yongning Fang, and everyone looked terrified.

Shang Shuling said, "This matter may be the most difficult thing I have ever encountered, but it is not difficult to deal with. What should the government do these days, and don't spread it privately with outsiders, so as not to panic. ”

He said, if Fan Ying has something to say one day, Gao Bai will share the assets in the house with everyone.

At noon, Shang Shuling had a red face with Gao Xianxing in front of so many outsiders, Gao Bai believed that the difficult thing Shang Shuling said must have arisen because of it, he no longer shirked, and nodded solemnly.

But until the meal was finished, the third lady did not come back.

The curfew was over, the fang gate and the city gate were closed, and Fan Ying did not return.

Shang Shuling got up early this morning, but he was not in a hurry to leave the house, and Fan Ying did not come back. He rubbed a little longer than usual before he got up.

Gao Bai, Ju'er, and Xue Lian were all sent outside the gate, and after Master Gao left, Xue Lian muttered to herself as if asking Ju'er, "Where did Mrs. Fan go?" Didn't come back overnight. ”

Ju'er said, "Don't be in any danger." ”

Gao Bai didn't think so, "Don't worry, the third lady is not inferior to Guogong at all except for her strength, and besides, how can Lord Gao let her take risks." ”

……

Fan Ying returned to the back house, took out the civilian clothes she usually used to send her senior brother to the early court, put them on again, carried her treasure leather bag, a cloth bag, and then wore a black cloth hat with a large rim and went out of the house and got on the horse.

At this time, the lamps on a row of lamp poles on the street have been lit, and after a while they enter the curfew, the gate and the city gate are closed, and there are still many people on the street at this time, but they are no longer in the workshop, just wait for the drum to sound, then close the door and bolt, and go back to each courtyard.

Fan Ying rode to Xinglufang, and there was still some distance away, and she found that Hongluqing Gao Xianxing took a few guards, hurriedly rode a horse and went east along the street.

Fan Ying said secretly, fortunately, she didn't pester her senior brother to drink, otherwise she would have let them go if she delayed, but what are they going to do at this time?

She didn't squeak and rode a horse to follow.

These people calculated the moment of the closure of the city, just before the Chunming Gate was locked, and after leaving the city gate, they did not stop for a moment, galloping northeast from the official road.

After Fan Ying left the city, the Chunming Gate closed heavily behind her.

When she was in the city, because of the cover of the people, she could still keep up closely, but at this time, people couldn't go outside the city, and there were no other pedestrians on the official road.

Fan Ying could only pull away, but fortunately, the night was also dark, the trees were thick, and the sound of the hooves of her riding was also drowned out by the hooves of seven or eight people in front of her, so that she could steadily carry these people forward.

There are five canals in Chang'an City. In addition to the Cao Canal, there is also a canal, which leads from the Anhua Gate area to the north of the city, and goes out from the Jingyao Gate. The Qingming Canal also has been going north to meet the Cao Canal, and the end of the canal enters the imperial city, in addition to the Yellow Canal on the Qujiang Pond and the Longshou Canal in the east of the city.

The imperial capital of Chang'an, because of it, has the meaning of "boring and sincere".

Out of the city two miles, there is the dragon head canal blocking the road, this canal is divided into two under the dragon head original, separate into the city, the south side of a straight into the temple after the discharge into the canal, the north side of the city from the north of the city bypass, in the prince east palace north wall into the city, also go to the temple, implying the royal blood "source (original) long history".

Seven or eight people in front of them accelerated after crossing the stone bridge on the Longshou Canal, and after galloping for more than ten miles, they left the official road and went north, and went to the mountain road on the Longshou Plain.

Fan Ying didn't know what was the big deal when Gao Xianxing went out of the city overnight, but he had some admiration for his senior brother, as if he had calculated that Gao Xianxing was going to have something to do at night.

As he walked, he was thinking, and in the twilight, something happened to these people in front of him.

Because it is a mountain road, these people can no longer ride side by side, the front and back can only be pulled apart by two, and the mountain trees are also more intense, the mountain road has obviously been specially repaired, and the bottom is paved with neat stones.

But in order to create a sense of winding paths, they were more and more tortuous by the craftsmen, and this group only heard the sound, and Fan Ying could only see the two people left behind.

In the haze, I saw that the two people who were dragging behind were suddenly hit by the lasso, and immediately rolled down the mountain road with an "oops", and then four or five black shadows jumped out of the bushes on both sides and pounced towards the fallen horseman.

Fan Ying's hands and eyes were fast, and she immediately stopped at the horse, no longer followed forward, and looked at it behind the bushes invisibly.

These people pressed one by one, and before the people on the ground could get up, they put a guy around their necks, "If you want to die, don't move!" ”

And on the mountain road ahead, there was also a faint sound of being recruited, and another person was being pushed by someone, and shouted unevenly, "Bold, what is the purpose of plotting against this official!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven...... Dare...... Dare to kidnap the rulers of the dynasty! ”

This is the voice of the high-level judge.

couldn't figure out the details of the later people, Fan Ying didn't move, only heard someone sneer, "What bullshit, are you the British duke?" Raise a fire and let me shine on it. ”

A fire flickered from behind the bushes, and the attackers were about twenty people, all dressed in black and masked.

Soon someone said, "Huh? It's not Li Shichang, since daytime, I have noticed the big things in the Huangfengling Courtyard, and I am sure that he will definitely come, so who is this person? ”

"You really ate the leopard's gall, and plotted against Lord Hongluqing's head, and you didn't let us go quickly!" One of the guards of Xinglufang shouted.

"Hongluqing?" The other party said, "It's not less than the British duke, brothers, tie this Hongluqing tighter, if he runs away, we will run tens of thousands of dollars!" ”

Gao Xianxing shouted, "Now that the official has reported his identity, he still dares to be rampant, who gave you the guts!" Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation and adding a staff after the incident? ”

The guard shouted again, "Acquaintances quickly leave, our master is the family of the Harrier Guogong, Shang Shuling, the Military Department Shangshu, and the Chief Pastoral Supervisor Gao, no matter how dare to slack off, I am not afraid that there will not even be a whole corpse in the future!" ”

What answered him was the "horn" with two big mouths, "you, the ropes are tied, and you dare to scare us with the harrier Guogong, and return the family!" Is it old Tarzan good? Stuff the mouths of these minions tightly to save yelling. ”

"You're spewing blood!" Hongluqing roared.

"Hmph, the second miss of Xinglufang has been practicing in Qingxin Nunnery for three years, and the situation is not short, and when she comes out again, she will become a daughter-in-law, the third miss will become the second miss, and the second miss will become the fifth lady. Dare to be hard-mouthed! ”

Someone laughed, "Yes, the second miss doesn't admit that she is the second miss, and she doesn't admit that she is your adult's daughter on the canal." I'm weird, if it's not my daughter, I have to say that? ”

Another person speculated, "In this way, the prince of the Harrier Kingdom, the son of the Gao Mansion, is fake!" ”

Gao Xianxing ate for a while, and he shouldn't have said a word, and his guards all stuffed things in their mouths at this time, as if they were also pondering the bends in these words.

"The affairs of Hongluqing's mansion are so messy, he himself knows it? I have a friend, I don't know where he heard the gossip, said that a former Mrs. Ru surnamed Lu in Hongluqing said...... It was in Meridian Valley...... When Hongluqing was worried......"

Hongluqing shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't stop talking to this official yet! This official has never bowed his head to evil, how can he listen to your nonsense! The real shame of this official is to let a few of you thieves capture! If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother! ”

"I'm not sorry to kill you! You want to die at this time, who will give me those millions of dollars? ”

"If you want money, just withdraw it, why bother with all this nonsense! Gao, a dignified member of the court, how could he listen to your humiliation! ”

When the other party heard this, he did not go down, but ordered, "Then tie him up and take them down the mountain as soon as possible, so that they will not have many dreams at night." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a string of torches winded down from the direction of the mountain, and these people panicked, "Oh no! There were a lot of people coming down from Huangfeng Ridge, and we pulled him away! ”

They did not ride horses when they came, but robbed the horses of the high-ranking people, and one of them was not enough, and the leader shouted, "You guys drill into the forest!" Give up the horses, don't leave the fat behind! ”

The thief hurriedly stepped on the torches, and two men ran over in the dark, and grabbed the high-ranking judge who tied him up with all kinds of flowers, and wanted to put him on horseback.

Gao Xianxing also saw that someone had come down from the Huangfengling Courtyard on the mountain, this was the only chance to be rescued, he was stunned, stepped on the saddle with both feet, and stood on the ground but did not cooperate, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Help!" ”。
